Who could possibly laugh while a vice is clamped down on their nipple? Someone didn't have a clue what a real bite was like when they wrote that. Just one more example of you can't believe everything you read. The finger technique worked well for me---well, sort of. My daughter got tired of me popping her off and simply refused to breastfeed for about a week. Then one morning she was really hungry and everything went well. Was it a permanent fix? I don't know. I had to wean her because I needed to take medication that wasn't recommended for use during breastfeeding.

The first time he/she bites, you pull away and say "No!". Expect tears of rejection. The second time you pull away and say "No! No!" forcefully, expect more tears of rejection. The Third time, you pull away and say "No! No!". and put the baby away from you (Bed, swing, siblings arms (NEVER daddy's arms), etc) for several (5) mins. Repeat step 3 until the message is delivered.(It won't take long). This may sound cruel, believe me it is NOT!! You won't have to repeat more than twice, babies are brilliant!!
